A good morning's work!

I have spent this glorious, sunny morning building a dry log wall, or three. The wood delivery came today and getting the logs put away is one of those jobs that needs doing quickly, in case it rains. It's back-breaking but surprisingly enjoyable and satisfying, stacking logs.

I took a couple of breaks to sit down in the sun. It's very sheltered in the courtyard, almost tropical today!

In the wood the snowdrops are almost over. I hate to see them go, but the daffodils are beginning to bloom so that makes up for the loss of the carpets of white we have been enjoying for so many weeks.

With the sun warm on my face and three or four buzzards mewing high in the blue sky above, there's nowhere I would rather be than here in my garden.

The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week. The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds. Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
